Palaiochora

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Palaiochora as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Paleochora is a small town located 77 km south of Chania, at the southwest coastline of Crete and it’s built on a small peninsula. Paleochora is built on the ruins of the ancient city of Kalamydi and its economy is based on tourism and agriculture. This small town stands on the ruins of the ancient city of Kalamydi and the locals earn their livings from tourism and agriculture.

Palaiochora is one of the fastest growing touristic destinations in Crete. The growth of this town started in the early ’70s when hippies started arriving on the island. Here, you will find small hotels, rooms to let, two campsites, restaurants, traditional tavernas, cafes and all the basic amenities you need for your holidays. Paleochora's wider area is astonishing, with crystal clear waters, well-organised beaches and beautiful isolated small docks. From the small harbour, you can take a ferry for a day trip to nearby beautiful destinations, like Agia Roumeli, Loutro, Sfakia and the island of Gavdos. All places with unique beauty and unspoiled landscape. The town itself is also astonishing, with small white houses, pretty pathways, cosy cafes and traditional tavernas, all run by locals.

The Venetians built a fort in the Palechora area, called the Castel Selino. Near the fort, the Venetians established a new settlement for workers and merchants called Vourgos. The pirate Hayreddin Barbarossa destroyed the fort in 1539, like many other forts in Crete. The most inhabitants of the town came here in the ’60s and they were mostly from the island of Gavdos. During that period the residents exchanged their land on Gavdos for land on Crete, who used to belong to Turkish people, through a state program. They created a community known as Gavdiotika in the old town of Paleochora, which is one of the most beautiful parts of the town.

Palaiochora is a unique destination, with great landscape, ideal for relaxing holidays and can be used as a base to explore one of the most beautiful parts of the Cretan island.

Heraklion Town Crete

Heraklion Town

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Heraklion town as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Heraklion boasts the title of the largest urban entity in Crete and is also the administrative capital of the island. Heraklion has an immense historical and cultural heritage, as in close proximity to the city visitors can find the Palace of Knossos, which has served as the centre of Minoan civilisation. Throughout the city, you can also find a number of constructions dating back to the Venetian occupation such as Koules Fortress in the old port.

Heraklion is home to some world class monuments and cultural landmarks. Among the most outstanding man-made structures is the Heraklion Fortress that contains the 'old town'. Originally built by Arab merchants and later on reinforced by Venetians, the Fortress included seven bastions, of which only the Martinego bastion survives the passing of time. Moreover, visitors will be delighted to find one of the gates to the city, named Chanioporta, which is ornate with the winged lion of Saint Marc. Visitors can also pay pilgrimage to the grave of one of Greece's most important writers and Nobel recipient, N. Kazantzakis. The sight that marks his resting place also offers some mesmerising views of the city.

Throughout the city, one can spot statues and monuments commemorating prolific figures that have been important for Greece's course through history and have contributed to Crete's immense cultural heritage. Some of the names include renaissance painter El Greco, Poet Vicenzo Kornaros and Politician Eleftherios Venizelos.

Moreover, the Archaeological museum should be on the top of every visitor's list; a splendid space that boasts a massive collection of ancient artefacts from all over the island and covers more than 5,500 years of history. Special emphasis is given to the spoils of Minoan civilisation, which has been one of the first to spring in the Southern European cost and was almost entirely wiped out by a volcanic eruption and a subsequent tsunami. The museum is home to the most important collection of surviving Minoan antiquities in the world and awaits its visitors to explore the mysteries of this extinguished civilisation.

Nowadays, Heraklion represents a beacon of Greek modernization and has been subjected to an extensive urban sprawl, that gives it a truly unique character. Despite the expansion of concrete residential blocs and the immense traffic, a short walk through the bustling streets and alleys will travel you through thousand years of history and will reveal to you the hip side of Greece with its rich coffee culture and culinary delights that can be found in every corner.
